Thanks for the reply, Netrunner.
>> ^NetRunner:
For example, does Judge Judy deserve to make vastly more money than Sandra Day O'Connor?
They both knew the rules of the game, and one of them is in greater compliance with those rules. However, most wealth is created by being savvy, rather than getting lucky as an athlete or an entertainer.
>> ^NetRunner:
This is just a restatement of the libertarian assumption, not really an argument for its veracity.
That seems like trying to distinguish 'making an argument' from 'making an argument'. Aren't your positions simply a restatement of the liberal assumption?
>> ^NetRunner:
Is Sandra Day O'Connor weighed down from success by her "predictably bad ideology"?
She's just one more government bureaucrat, and probably has a terrible personal life and terrible general intellectual life beyond law. She willingly chose a limited (but still extraordinary) path, knowing the range of outcomes that could occur, so she deserves whatever she gets.


Here's the type of deal I'd be happy to commit to: If people like this http://videosift.com/video/Spring-Break-Couple-Dance-Fail bring sports, alcohol, smoking & drug consumption, and protesting (http://videosift.com/video/G20-Protest-that-was-Stolen-from-the-Peaceful-Majority?loadcomm=1#comment-1028436) down to 10% of current levels, start reading at least 1000 science articles per year, getting rigorous exercise daily, and eating a paleo diet, I'll agree to re-distribute the fruits of my labor.

I wouldn't have understood what was happening without those sounds.

Your video, Spring Break Couple Dance Fail, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

^American schools get two weeks for Christm... er, winter break, one week for spring break, 2 days for Thanksgiving, 2 president's days, a memorial day and an mlk day. There is a set number of school days required by law, so getting rid of some of these holidays wouldn't result in more school days, just a longer summer - which wouldn't be such a bad thing.

Could just be a test of his own strength.. every so often a person like this might just see what they can lift once, so they can measure their improvements and more importantly, whip their shirt off at a local bar, scream "300 pounds baby WOOOOOOOO SPRING BREAK" or something equally idiotic, just to make their friends feel weak.

WOOOOOO SPRING BREAK ISRAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT FUCKING YEAR IS THIS??!!

Talk about a dupe.

I'm pretty sure there is a live version not discarded somewhere..

There sure are a lot of serious stories here, but I think I'll contribute a slightly amusing/too-much-information one, ala Blankfist.

A few weeks ago my girlfriend was visiting for Spring break (she goes to school on the West coast, I go to school on the East coast), and I took her to play a game of Kings with a group of my friends. We play with a different set of rules from those listed in the WikiPedia article, but overall it's pretty much the same game. In any case, one of the cards meant a game of "Never Have I Ever," where you all put up a certain number of fingers (in this case, three) and people take turns saying something they've never done before. If you've done it, you put a finger down, and the first person to run out of fingers loses and has to take a drink.

In any case, as you would guess from drunken college students, many of the things people had never done were sexual in nature, as a way to humorously embarrass the people around you. The group was pretty well-mixed, with almost as many girls as guys. Eventually somebody said "Never have I ever done 69," and my girlfriend and I both had to drop a finger. We were the only ones in the entire room to do so, something that everyone noticed rather quickly.

Later highlights from that game included someone pulling a Jack and making the rule that you had to say "in JAPR's ass" at the end of every phrase or sentence or you had to take a drink, which made the game both awkward and hilarious for me. This was further compounded by my girlfriend pulling a Jack and making the rule that "any time you say 'in JAPR's ass, you have to make an inserting motion.'" The motions made for the next ten minutes of the game got pretty creative. I suspect this may have been a little bit of revenge on her part for embarrassment she felt during the games of Never Have I Ever.

Thanks a ton, buddy!

I'm on Spring break right now, so I'm not sifting too much (spending time with the gf ), but I'll be sure to get back with it after I get back to school. Good to see the votes came back.

Every second I was thinking, "5 minutes! That's too long..." But, I couldn't stop watching and laughed for the entire 5 minutes. That was wonderful. Thanks for helping make my afternoon...

Well, today was the first day of Spring Break, so my afternoon was already made. But, thanks for trying!

DAMN! That's huge! I'll have to wait till spring break to fix mine, this will take awhile.
